Hello, experts. I have a question about SEO.

For this type of business, I would focus on strong on-page content and clear search intent first, then build relevant backlinks gradually. backlinks still help, but they work much better when the website has a solid content and technical foundation.

I run a business in Korea that converts credit card transactions into cash, and I am very interested in Google SEO and search rankings. Do people still rely heavily on backlinks and on-site content for this kind of work these days?

Absolutely relevant, high quality backlinks are still a strong supporting signal, especially when they come from authoritative sites within the same niche or market.
But link building works best alongside a strong technical seo foundation, solid onsite content, and proper internal linking so the authority can actually translate into rankings.
 
Of course, both continue to matter, but SEO is about more than that.

The areas I would concentrate on are technical SEO, search intent, topical relevancy, value content, internal links, and quality backlinks.

When it comes to competition, the critical thing is building trust and topical authority.

Yes, backlinks and content still matter, but there’s more to it these days. I’d also look at technical SEO, search intent, site trust, and the quality of the backlinks rather than just the number of them.
 
backlinks and content will always matter as long as Google is alive.
If the business is only serving Korea, I would use links from Korean or relevant sites and build the pages around the exact services people are searching for.

Also, don't only look at the main homepage. build separate pages for the actual services/queries if there are enough searches for them.
Then use the backlinks to support those pages. that is usually a better setup than just building links to the homepage.
 
Yes, backlinks and on-page content still matter, but I wouldn’t rely on either one alone.

For a competitive financial niche, I will focus on useful, trustworthy content first, then build relevant backlinks naturally.

Technical SEO, site reputation, user experience, and search intent also play a big role.
 
Yes, backlinks and on-site content still matter for competitive niches. But don't just focus on backlinks alone.

Make sure the content is optimized well, the site is technically strong, and then build relevant links from sites that have real traffic and topical relevance.
 
Yes, backlinks and on-site content still matter, but I wouldn't rely on them alone. For a competitive niche, useful content, strong technical SEO, user experience and relevant, trustworthy backlinks all need to work together.
 
Backlinks and content still matter but for a local service I would also pay attention to search intent location and the overall trust of the site
 
backlinks and content still matter but they dont work in isolation anymore. For your niche its more about building trust signals, relevance, authority together - otherwise ranking dont stick

Of course, the intention of the user changes everything. I would be checking to see if the page matched the location plus service search first before adding extra links.
